Vehicles

Last updated 16/1/2007

Bred Flytra

Known mostly for its civilian vehicles, Bred has recently made an entry in the market of military vehicles with the Bred Flytra. Originally intended for civilian applications in unfavourable environments, this multipurpose carrier has proven so successful that it has been adopted by several armed forces in a variety of roles. Powered by a quad of Refton turbines, the Flytra can carry 12 crew members in full combat outfit. Specialized air hospital, fire fighting and command centre configurations also exist. Armament is minimal on most versions, having been fitted as an afterthought.

Dragonfly Class Transport

The Dragonfly Class Transport is a multi purpose flying carrier manufactured directly by REA in the requisitioned Terra Tactics factories. The design was developed by REA engineers, but many technical components are drawn directly from existing designs. Endless variants of the Dragonfly exist to cover a wide variety of roles.

MeRoCC – Mechanized Robot Control Centre

The Mechanized Robot Control Centre is a heavy vehicle fitted with all the necessary equipment to carry and control up to three combat robots. The standard MeRoCC is eight wheeled and armoured, and is capable of carrying the crew in a fully sealed and life supported environment. The crew normally consists in the robot controllers plus a pilot and an officer. Larger versions are capable of carrying the robots as well and include a small workshop for routine maintenance and basic repairs. Although the MeRoCC’s designated role is to offer close support to infantry or other units, the vehicle itself is vulnerable to attack and has no defensive weaponry. Smaller versions of the MeRoCC have been produced to transport and control two and even only one robot. Tracked and flying versions have also made the appearance on the battlefield. The safety of a MeRoCC and its crew is considered a priority on the battlefield, as experienced robot controllers are difficult to replace.


OPUS CoTa III

The Opus CoTa is OPUS Armouries’ widest selling light tank. Designed for urban operations, it’s main armament consists of a pair of short barrelled LEPA cannons. This allows the turret to perform a full turn in almost any street the tank body can pass through, and the armour has been spread evenly on all sides of the vehicle. The design of the CoTa also allows it to be transported with ease by air, and the mechanics are robust enough to withstand a suborbital capsule-drop. Special care has been taken to make the tracks reliable and durable, and malfunctions on the CoTa within the first two years of operation are rare.

OPUS Gunship VI

The OPUS Gunship VI is the key air-to-ground attack vehicle of the REA. Developed in partnership with OPUS, it is a flexible armoured flyer, easy to maintain and capable of accepting a wide range of weapons. The Gunships VI has two mount points on the nose (although normally only one is fitted with a weapon to reduce the overall weight and increase the range of operation) and two on the belly mounted turret, which is commonly fitted with turbo lasers powered directly by the main engine. The combined weight of the armoured shell, the armament and the twin parallel turbines necessitates a large power core, as a consequence the space inside the vehicle has been sacrificed and the number of crew-members transported limited to two.

OPUS Olmartin

The heavily urbanized landscape common to the operations undertaken by REA on Earth facilitate sudden attacks by dissidents and guerrilla forces. To address the issue of the survivability of troops in these scenarios, OPUS created a heavily armoured personnel carrier capable of providing a safe heaven for the transported crew. Two fast guns mounted on the frontal turret provide enough suppressive firepower to support the troops on foot. As with other OPUS design, space inside the vehicle is sacrificed, so the APC can transport only an eight man squad in addition to pilot and gunner.

OPUS Olwess

Available only to Protectors, the Olwess is an armoured personnel carrier capable of carrying two five men Protector squads in full combat outfit. Armed with a fast cannon and normally equipped with one additional fire and forget missile, two single shot grenades as well as smoke screens, the Olwess acts as a fire support and tactical operation centre during Protector special missions where non mechanized resistance is expected.

Tertac APC-3

Tertac’s APC is an evolution of the classic APC design that has been in use with military forces in the Solar system for decades. It is cheap to produce, reliable, and has a good carrying capacity, features that made it very popular with the MLF and other less prosperous forces. In its most common configuration, the armament consists of a single fast gun and two single shot grenades in addition to smoke screens. The survivability ratio of the transported crew is considered adequate for this class of carrier.

Tertac Raider

The Raider is a new design of low altitude fighter developed by Tertac directly on Mars. The new project was necessary after the corporation lost its manufacturing plants on Earth. Fast and agile, equipped with a single fast cannon and fire and forget missiles, the Raider also had to be cheap to produce due to the MLF’s limited resources. The Raider is used as hit and run vehicle. It is agile enough to battle in a dogfight but lacks the firepower necessary to punch through heavily armoured targets.

Tertac Scout Car

The Scout Car is another vehicle developed by Tertac specifically for the Martian scenarios. Moved by six military grade wheels and powered by a modified Refton Si-Core, it is capable of covering great distances in harsh environments. The rugged design is completed by a light armament consisting of a pair of turret mounted fast guns. In addition to pilot and gunner, the vehicle can carry two more crew members, and has often been used as a mobile command centre.
